Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 91.8% above the 2007 sale of £220,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£341/sq ft) was about 37.4% below the postcode norm. At 60 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (47 m² median across 46 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
